Hi My name is Doyle

[doyles]

I am new to the forum but not new to smoking meat.  I have been making Smoked sausage for probably 20 years.  Also do a lot of Ribs,  chicken and Fish.   I have been using a gas fired smokey mountain that I modified to add a Bradley smoke generator with a cold smoke box.  My kids bought me a Traeger Texas Grill and I have used that a couple times.   I haven't  had a problem with smoke flavor and have a nice smoke ring on the ribs I have done.  I live in Northern California and have been making Wine for about 9 years.

My background is Electrical Engineering and am thinking about doing a mod to the Traeger that allows me to run the Auger only so that I can clean the pellets out so they do not swell and clog the auger if they get damp.
